Morning ladies and hope you had a good nights sleep. We had a lovely day out yesterday at Renishaw Hall - just went around the lovely gardens and lakes. It was so nice to be out doing normal things. I've been doing well the last few days although my tongue is still weird, I'm craving starchy food and junk food and my bowel is still moving faster than usual, like 4 times a day. I expect the cravings are my body craving calories to compensate for processing speed!
Raitchr, sorry to hear you're finding the tiredness more difficult and I agree the Docetaxol is harder than the FEC. You will feel better soon so just give into it and rest for now. 🛌
Trisha, hope they soon sort you out in hospital and don't release you again too soon. It must be quite upsetting for you going home and then back again the same night.
Treehouse, glad your son enjoyed his trip and good luck with scouring the tide mark off the bath!
MJK, I bought some false eyelashes at the beginning of treatment but haven't tried using them. I'm afraid I'll get glue in my eyes! I use a liquid liner which is really effective. It's more like a felt tip pen. It's Boots No. 7 Stay Precise. If you use brown rather than black it isn't so harsh and gives a softer line (if you don't get it perfect then it doesn't show as much as with black)
Kala, I wake up in the night thirsty and always keep a pint glass of water beside me. I had to get up at 3am for a drink and to poop. Its not the dream! Why don't my bowels stay asleep when I do?? I sometimes feel like I can my heart pulsing hard and feel slightly short of breath. When I go walking I have to slow down on the hills as I get out of breath. I assume this is temporary side effects.
